catch client timeouts and cancellations

[Ali Riza KELES]

Hi,

I have a question. I searched but I couldn't find an answer.

Here's my use case:  One of my handlers awaits client for a long time. This is not something unintended, this is how we want app works. And as a result of being awaited too long, sometimes client timeouts or cancellations occur. I want to catch these client timeouts or client cancellations to do some extra work.

I saw this blog post: https://www.sohamkamani.com/blog/golang/2018-06-17-golang-using-context-cancellation/

It seems useful and worth to try, but before implementing something, I just wanted to ask community if there is a convenient way to do that.

Is it possible to catch them? Does gorilla mux provide any interfaces to do that?

Thanks.

What do you want to do - can you share a scenario?

If a client (another service) cancels the request (either
intentionally or a client timeout), on server side I want to stop
current running job and next lines of handler code and push some data
to somewhere. Basically, I want to change the flow of my app according
to client cancels or timeouts.

Thank you,
